ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
The objective of this study was to analyze and compare risk factors for peripheral artery disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD). SUBJECTS ANDMETHODS:
The sample included 7936 Korean patients aged > or =20 years who were hospitalized from 1994 to 2004. Of the 7936 subjects, PAD (n=415), CAD (n=3686), and normal controls (Control) (n=3835) were examined at the Health Promotion Center, Samsung Medical Center.RESULTS:
The mean age (years) of PAD subjects was 64.4 (+/-9.3), while CAD subjects was 61.2 (+/-9.9), and Control subjects was 59.9 (+/-9.1) (p<0.01). The proportion of males was 90.6% for PAD, 71.4% for CAD, and 75.5% for Control subjects (p<0.01). The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease were significantly higher in subjects with PAD or CAD compared to those in Control. However, the ORs for high density lipoprotein, being overweight, and being obese were significantly lower in PAD subjects compared to those in Control.CONCLUSION:
We found that cardiovascular risk factors were in fact risk factors for both PAD and CAD.
